it's not a compressing codec to make as your final version.

You see, the codec just zips the avi. You then export that version into virtualdub and export like the way I said 2 posts ago.

You should never be compressing your final versions directly from premiere.

Ugh. I meant "import the version you exported with premiere into virtualdub and export it out of virtualdub the way I said 2 posts ago."

If you ask me "Why must I export with huffyuv in premiere?"

It's because premiere is really bad at compressing with XviD (or almost anything), so you need to use virtualdub to compress (since it compresses REALLY WELL). And to get a perfect quality version into virtualdub, you'd have to have to import a raw .avi to get it perfect quality. But instead, you should use the huffyuv codec, which practically uses a zipping method to shorten the file about 3 times smaller- and doesn't degrade the footage.
